Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by the Princely state of Orchha, which was a small state in the Indian subcontinent that existed from the 16th century until 1947, when it was merged into the Dominion of India. Despite being a small state, Orchha was known for its rich cultural heritage and architecture, including the famous Orchha Fort and Temple Complex, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The coin itself is made of silver and weighs 5.4 grams, making it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
